RealTime Delphi geographic footprint

Around the world, populations are ageing. In many developed economies, increasing numbers of workers are contemplating when to retire. That's a major problem for some sectors, like road freight, where labour shortages due to retirements are already beginning to take their toll. In developing economies, transportation and logistics as a sector is growing rapidly - but workforce development isn’t yet keeping pace. How will transportation and logistics companies cope?

To get some answers, we've put together a global panel of experts and posed a series of questions using a RealTime Delphi methodology. Will transportation and logistics executives be standing in the winner's circle in 2030? You can read the experts' views in this report. We also present some suggestions on how transportation and logistics companies can position themselves.

Volume 4 in our T&L 2030 series is a multi-faceted analysis of supply chain security and its impact on global supply chains as well as how global transportation & logistics companies will operate in the future. We also developed a security risk profile that transportation & logistics companies can use to analyse the security of their operations.

A multi-faceted analysis of transportation & logistics in emerging markets and the impact on global supply chains. We examine how regulation sets the scene for investment and growth, how new transport corridors span the globe, how industry consolidation accelerates and service levels improve and how the competitive environment at home and abroad emerges.

An analysis of transport infrastructure and its impact on future supply chains. We examine how supply and demand for transport infrastructure will evolve, how transport infrastructure will be financed in the future, its importance for the competitiveness of regions or territories and the development of sustainable transport infrastructure.

A multi-faceted analysis of the transportation & logistics sector and the impact and pressure of sustainability. Energy scarcity, consumer behaviour, transport modes and future supply chains represent discrete aspects of how the future may evolve in T&L, each of which is likely to impact the others.
